I'd avoid this at all costs, especially if you saw the original lineup in the 80s. The last few bad brains shows I've seen (going back to 96 or so) have been a complete disaster. HR coming and going off stage, sometimes outright refusing to perform, sarcastially singing his way through the songs as if he's just too good for the whole thing. He's been phoning it in for years (and I don't mean phoning it in like he did for the vocal track on "Sacred Love").
The guy's an asshole...a legend yes. You can't discount their output up to I Against I, but HR ain't all there these days. In fact, I'm fairly sure he's quite mentally ill and just can't handle the shit..
I left their last 9:30 show about 30 min. in....
